Yesterday, a short teaser video promised that we'd get the first TMNT 2 trailer today. But after the full two-and-a-half-minute trailer managed to leak, Paramount went to work sending out promotional images as well as the trailer (check the top post for that!).

The biggest news from this reveal is the title "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows," which is a change from the working title "Half Shell."

Promotional images show us the four Turtles (with new garb and gear), April O'Neil (Megan Fox) with Casey Jones (Stephen Amell), and Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (Stephen “Sheamus” Farrelly).

Here are a bunch of marketing words:

“TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: OUT OF THE SHADOWS” is the sequel to the 2014 hit film “TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES.” The film is based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters created by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman and is directed by David Green (“EARTH TO ECHO”). Michael Bay (the “TRANSFORMERS franchise) returns to produce alongside his Platinum Dunes partners Brad Fuller and Andrew Form (“ TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES”), with Galen Walker and Scott Mednick (“TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES”) also producing.

Holy Turtles, Batman! Yes, today is the release of the first issue (of six) of the HUGE Batman/TMNT crossover event. And, as is now typical of HUGE events, there is a laundry list of variant covers. Because this is published by DC assets for the covers weren't directly available, so they have been collected from different sources. While this is believed to be a complete list, don't be surprised if one or two more end up surfacing.

In a video posted to Facebook, Stephen Amell (Casey Jones) seems to have confirmed that we will see the first trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Half Shell before the biggest movie of the year, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Although he doesn't name the movie (Star Wars) by name, it does qualify as a "relatively big movie" that comes out this month.

This brief clip is embedded below. You can also see the full video on Facebook (skip to 11:08).

It's been awhile since the TMNT have made a mark in the video game world, but this week there are two tidbits to report.

Tidbit 1:PC Gamer is reporting that development studio Platinum Games has a TMNT title in the works, as it has happened to cross the Australian Classification Board website. No details on it yet, but keep watch for updates as information becomes available.

Tidbit 2:
If you're playing Tony Hawk 5, Activision has released some DLC that includes the TMNT as playable characters. The tie-in seems a bit random, but Activision is Nickelodeon's video game distribution partner for TMNT titles.
